I had some strawberries and rhubarb from the farmer's market. I also had some leftover blueberries. I was looking for an easy recipe to incorporate all of these berries.

I found a recipe online for a pudding cake. I made some changes to the recipe and doubled it for a 9 x 13 cake pan. It turned out delicious! Feel free to change up the berries in this recipe. It's best served warm with some vanilla ice cream. Yummy!!

2) Stir together water, cornstarch and 1/4 c. sugar in a saucepan. Stir in rhubarb and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Once at a simmer, stir occasionally for about 8-10 minutes or until the rhubarb is soft.

3) Remove the pan from heat and stir in the other mixed berries. Set aside.

4) Mix together flour, baking powder, salt and remaining 1/3 c. sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

5) In a large bowl, whisk together egg, milk, butter and vanilla. Add the flour mixture to this bowl and whisk in until the mixture is just combined.

6) Reserve 1/2 c. of the fruit mixture, then add the remainder to the baking dish. Pour the batter over the fruit, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the reserved 1/2 c. of fruit mixture over the batter.

7) Place a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet under your pan to catch any overflowing fruit. Bake until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake portion comes out clean, or about 25-30 minutes. Cool the pan on a rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.

About Me

I was born and raised in Hawaii but currently living in Portland, Oregon. Growing up in Hawaii, food was a way of bringing family and friends together. People in Hawaii LOVE their food! I like to think that I'm continuing this tradition from afar!
I love meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. Food is my passion! I love to eat and try new cuisines. I love to cook and bake (but hate cleaning up). I’m addicted to the Food Network, kitchen gadgets, yummy restaurants, the Farmer's Market and food adventures. I love to take recipes and recreate them. A few years ago, I started testing out the color of my thumb on vegetable gardening. I love the success of harvesting your own crops grown from your own hard work! I am growing in Zone 8b.
I occasionally do arts and crafts. I love photography and traveling. My favorite travel destinations thus far have been Mexico, Italy, Japan, Thailand, Greece, France, Vietnam, Cambodia and Guatemala. I think they're my favorites because of the food!
